    Searching for a lost piece of Rocket & Groot fan art

    Hey everyone, I've been searching google trying to find this fan art/poster of Rocket and Groot that was made in a rubber hose art style with the pac man eyes. It said somewhere on the poster "Ain't No one like me, 'cept me." I found it around 2014 when the movie first came out but has been lost to old/damaged phones. Does anyone else have this somewhere? I wish I could remember who made it.

    Rocket raccoon in the gotg square enix game

    So i think they nailed rockets personality and backstory in the game. All though i'm not the biggest fan of his design in the game, i dont hate it btw!! I would have preferred a more comic accurate look.

    I saw people say that its "the kindest version of rocket is so far" and i just wanted to say i dont agree with that. I even think he was quite a menace sometimes even. This is how the gotg game wiki his personality in the game describes: "Of a violent and surly disposition, Rocket has many antisocial tendencies. He is foul-mouthed, cynical, short-tempered, stubborn, trigger-happy, and often self-righteous. Liable to impatience and frustration, Rocket often sees explosives as the solution to his problems. He loves to gloat and rarely, if ever, admits his own mistakes, much less apologize, even if his actions get his teammates into trouble. With the sole exception of Groot, he cares little for others' feelings, especially when he feels slighted. He is also unrepentant in his criminal behavior, disregarding rules whenever he can, and having little respect for other people's property."

    Ofc in the end he had a bit of a redemption and became more sefless and heroic!

    I do agree with how they descibed him in the game, da ya'll agree with this description?

    Is this an accurate description of Star-Lord?

    I searched up if Star-Lord is considered an anti-hero, I got this as a result, do you guys agree with this characterization of his portrayal in the comics?

    Does anyone else do this?

    Right now I'm doing a rewatch of the whole Guardians film trilogy. I love the movies but I'm not really a superhero fan anymore, and so I like the watch the movies with the mindset that these are just standalone sci-fi adventure serials. It's honestly pretty easy to watch them like this, since the movies really do feel disconnected with the wider MCU (except the Gamora stuff in vol 3) and even when Thanos or infinity stones are brought up I like to pretend they're just original background concepts for the movies. I know it's kinda weird to go into them with this mindset, and I'm just wondering if there are any other Guardians fans who are not particularly MCU fans that do this?

    Ideal Reading

    I was introduced to the Guardians via MCU, their movies are like the only ones I actually kept up with. I did a bit of a dive on them and I know/understand that the MCU/199999 is pretty stretched from other Canons. Love them in Rivals now, and wondering what the best run of the comics would be best to start with, with that characterization in mind?

    You know that feeling.. flying through space and then *BAM!* You want some snack, to make your journey a little better.

    Hey guys, wanted to ask.. if someone could tell me what is each of the characters favourite snack. I personaly seen some hits (like Quills t-shirt), thats supposed to be some snack (dont know what kind tho).

    If there is no lore behind it.. try to guess. I want to see what others think.

    Star Lord movie theory

    So we know Star Lord will be back in another movie, in most likely a solo film. Would you guys like if in the end he joins the guardians of the galaxy again, along with mantis, drax, and nebula? And possibly Gamora? Me personally it would be a perfect ending but I could see people not wanting that kind of ending. What do you guys think? This is kind of just me being desperate for them to see each other again but wanted to see if anyone would like this ending as well

    Which MCU Groot do you prefer?

    Probably 2014 Adult Groot; his naivety mixed with his gentle giant nature yet still rather f'd up side was amusing plus the "We Are Groot" scene was emotionally affecting

    Honestly don't hate me for this but...Baby Groot is overrated? He's cute but he hasn't even been in anything outside his own Disney+ series since 2017 and yet that's the Groot they still put on merch almost 10 years later

    Teen Groot was basically just a stereotypical jaded teenager and Young Adult Groot is basically just slightly shorter yet more muscular 2014 Groot so I'll go with the original

    What does floor mean when she says “Does it words?” to rocket when they first met?

    I think I'm dumb asking this, did she mean to say "does it hurts" but since she her brain isn't as developed she can't say it right?

    Starlord Marvel Main First Time watching Movies opinion

    (Just wanted to Share my thoughts on movies after finally watching them)

    So as Marvel new game became popular it was time I tried it but the best charecter style wise that stuck to me was starlord with him being a fun but also good playstyle, so good in fact made me finally watch the guradian movies even though I dont relly watch marvel movies

    Can I just say I feel i cheated myself...out of a more amazing experince that these movies deserve

    Most movies do have same formula but obviously diffrent storylines but similer situations of enemy force called in to there location or etc.

    Each charecter is well liked in there own way and not one dimensional like most media is now and days, even though Drax is shown as dumb hes shown as a kind father, Mantis as caring, Starlord as Courage etc.

    Honestly these movies became my favriote marvel series of any recent media and will highly recomend them to anyone Im sad its only a trilogy but exited what they do in future regardless like with StarLord char and hopefully more of Rocket Racoon

    My collection of GOTG items

    It's small, and slowly growing. But I love it! I just got the Gamora in the Guardians ship Funko Pop today! Most of the things I got were from different thrift stores in my area, the only that isn't was the Groot lego set. I'm hoping to get more stuff for my collection!

    Star-Lord’s playlist

    What are some songs you can picture Peter listening to? Or what are some songs you’re surprised haven’t made their way into any GOTG media yet? I’ll start;

    • Every 1’s a Winner by Hot Chocolate
    • Juke Box Hero by Foreigner
    • Rock Your Baby by George McCrae

    (My bad if any of those songs are already in some sort of Guardians media, but I don’t believe any of them are.)

    Did Rocket make you fall in love with raccoons?

    Kind of

    Honestly my love for raccoons started with the raccoons in The Great Outdoors (1988). But he definitely solidified it!

    Should I give Vol. 2 another try?

    I tried watching it once and couldn’t make it past the first ten minutes or so. I just thought it was awful lol. I enjoyed the other two so it was weird that this one seemed so much worse. I think it has the same director and maybe same writers too. Anyway is it worth another shot?
